説明
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Morphological variations of the dental crown and roots provide valuable data for determining the genetic affinities and evolutionary adaptedness of prehistoric human skeletal populations. This paper documents morphological variations of a sample of deciduous teeth from the late Chalcolithic farming village of Inamgaon (1600–700 B.C.) in western India.</jats:p><jats:p>Hanihara's (1963) grading system of deciduous dental traits was employed in assessing the degree of expression of shovel‐shape of incisors, cusp number of upper and lower first molars, hypocone variation, Carabelli's trait, cusp number of lower second molars and the protostylid. Turner's (1970) classification was used to determine presence and size of accessory cusps: entoconulid (C‐6) and metaconulid (C‐7).</jats:p><jats:p>Comparative evaluation of the Inamgaon deciduous dental data is hampered by the absence of data for dental features of living and prehistoric South Asian populations. Many of the traits observed in the Inamgaon series exhibit a frequency of occurrence intermediate between figures characteristic of the “Mongoloid” dental complex and the “Caucasoid” dental complex.</jats:p>
